Lavish CGI movie from the [[BlueSky makers]] of ''IceAge'' and illustrator WilliamJoyce.
Ambitious young robot [[TheHero Rodney Copperbottom]] (voiced by EwanMcGregor) leaves his hometown for Robot City, hoping to show his inventions to his childhood hero [[BigGood Bigweld]] (MelBrooks). To his dismay, Bigweld has been displaced by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Ratchet]], who is interested only in selling shiny upgrade parts to robots.
Rodney finds himself alone and broke in the big city. Luckily (or unluckily) for him, he falls in with motormouth and kleptomaniac Fender (voiced by RobinWilliams), who introduces him to his [[TagalongKid little sister Piper]] and his misfit collection of friends: [[TheBigGuy Lug]], [[SourSupporter Crank Casey]] and Diesel (who needs a new voice chip and is TheUnintelligible for most of the movie.).
Ratchet's factory stops producing spare parts, forcing robots to upgrade worn-out components. For bots like Fender and his friends who can't afford the upgrades, this means the scrapheap - a nightmare world beneath the city which just happens to be overseen by Ratchet's domineering mother.
Rodney, as TheHero, isn't just going to sit back and let this happen. With the help of [[ActionGirl Cappy]], an employee of Ratchet's who's disgusted by the way things are going, he sets out to reinstate Bigweld and defeat [[BigBad Madame Gasket]] and her son.

* {{Jerkass}}: Tim the Gate Guard, full stop.
* KillThePoor: Madame Gasket is revealed to be melting down lower-class robots into products for her son's company to sell.
* LarynxDissonance: Jim Broadbent, playing [[BigBad Ratchet's mother]]
* MeaningfulName: Ample-reared Aunt Fanny (who became Aunt Fan in the UK, since 'fanny' in this country refers to a... nearby, yet different portion of the anatomy).
** Also {{Lampshaded}}:
--->'''Fender:''' Aunt ''Faaaaaaannnnnny!'' We brought someone!
--->'''[[TheHero Rodney]]:''' Are you sure your aunt won't mind?
--->'''Fender:''' Relax, she's not my aunt. She just takes in bots who are...[[AWorldwidePunomenon broke]].
--->'''Rodney:''' Well then, why is she called Aunt Fanny?
--->'''Fender:''' *cuts to Aunt Fanny and her large backside* Couldn't call her "Aunt Booty"!
* MechanicalLifeforms
* MisanthropeSupreme: Madame Gasket, who wants to eliminate all outmodes, never mind the fact that she ''is'' one.
* MisfitMobilizationMoment
* MyBelovedSmother: [[BigBad Madame Gasket]].
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: On the Bigweld Show Rodney watches in his childhood, Bigweld asks Tim the Gate Guard, "Who closed this gate? You know we never close this gate!" When Rodney meets Tim in real life, years later, he asks this same question- and gets cut off with an irritable "Yeah, yeah."
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: In-universe; On TV, Tim the Gate Guard is a cheerful-sounding puppet-like robot who guards Bigweld's main gate. The real Tim... [[JerkAss not so much]].
* NotHelpingYourCase: When Bigweld fires Ratchet, Ratchet begs for mercy, claiming, "The lies I've told, the lives I've ruined!...Wait a minute, this isn't helping me!"
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Rusties.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Like, for example, how they "grow up" exactly like humans (by getting larger), even if they have to use hand-me-down body pieces?
** ...and for that matter, are there any robots with personalities who have the same appearance? Wouldn't you expect a lot of robots to, you know, be based on the same model?
*** That most likely would have been a result of the plan the BigBad had laid out, though more as a side effect than the objective. If the thing had succeeded, that is.
*** Actually, if they're hand-built rather than mass produced, it ''is'' likely that most would be physically unique.
*** And you have to take into account that the Robots might start as packaged, "basic" models, and a life time of dents, scrapes, repaintings and modifications might result in a varied population.
* RoboFamily: Since this is a world of robots, robots can have their own family units and even 'make' their own children.
* SceneryPorn: With much BenevolentArchitecture, like the tracks used at the very beginning.
* ThisIsMyNameOnForeign: Fender claims he was called 'Bumper' before he immigrated.
* UrineTrouble: The fire hydrant is sentient and tells the robotic dog "Don't you dare!"
* WideEyedIdealist: [[TheHero Rodney]]
* WindUpKey
* {{Zeerust}}: Invoked. Countless robots have distinctly retro designs.
